About Steven AitchisonOver the last few weeks I have been trying to find out what readers of the blog would like more information on. So I emailed my subscriber list and asked them. 4 titles topped the polls and one of them was ‘How to get more subscribers to your blog’.
This kind of surprised me, but I asked the list what they really wanted to know about this topic and in true ‘let the readers decide’ I have produced a first draft of an ebook entitled: How to Reach 10,000 Blog Subscribers.
I am giving this away for free to all CYT readers.
Who is it for?
Anybody who has a blog and is looking to increase their exposure in the blogging field. You can be in any niche and benefit from this ebook.
What you will learn
- Why your subscriber count is important.
- The four aspects of your blog you must focus on to capture readers attention
- 7 ways to dramatically increase your subscriber count
Do you like it? was it helpful? If so, I have two simple requests
1) Let me know. Share your feedback in the comments section or write to me directly.
2) Help spread the word. Pass this along to the everyone you know, maybe no everyone, I don’t think your Gran would like a copy, but you know what I mean. Would be great to Tweet this as well.
I hope you enjoy ‘How to reach 10,000 Blog Subscribers’ it and look forward to hearing your thoughts about it.

Hey Ayo, great hearing from you, it’s been a long time buddy.
Trip was brilliant and we’re feeling refreshed and raring to go, still got a few days off so concentrating on the blog and writing.
How’ve you been doing lately?
Hey Steven!
Very cool, just read your guide. Straight to the point, useful and a big help to many new bloggers.
I really liked your idea of sharing lists, I’m going to find a few people to do that with. I only recently started using Aweber and really regret that I didnt start with it from day 1. Feedburner is very sketchy lately.
Congrats on reaching 10k

Hi Steven,
I downloaded the book and took a quick peak – awesome stuff! I can already tell that I should be doing some stuff that I’m not to get more subscribers to my site. I appreciate you putting this together.
Thank you!

Hi Karen, glad you liked the content of the book and hopefully you can use some for the strategies for growing your subscriber list.
Actually, I’ve had more time to go through it now and I’ve been implementing some of the suggestions.
I had never thought of the resale tactic nor had I signed up for FriendFeed. Great tips! Thanks again.

Dave recently posted..What I Learned from Zombieland
Hi Dave, thanks for your comments always appreciated. Hope you enjoy the ebook.
HI Steven, I’m hooked…totally and completely to this book. INfact I have been a subscriber to the blogging boot camp newsletter too..so have been making subtle changes on the blog in that regard too. I wud love it if you could have a peek and let me know what you think of the changes.
You are so giving with all your trade secrets! I know I am lucky to have connected with you.
Plus..there is such powerful information in this ebook..i’m itching to give it a go. All the advice i’m getting form the blogging bootcamp newsletter and leo’s podcasts..is literally catapulting the blog to a new LIFE. Amazing…how small changes can make such a huge difference.
Thank you thank you thank you…other than actually giving me such a lovely resource…now all that left for you to do it tell all your subscribers to subscribe to me
Much Love,Z~
Hi Zeenat. Your blog is looking great, fresh, well presented and easy to navigate.
The one thing that sticks out for me is that it is not too clear on how to subscribe, as your RSS/Email button is hidden in the purple background, I would make it more prominent.
I would also advise you that now is a great time to step it up a gear and go for an aweber account and catch all the passing traffic with a one time showing of a pop up to subscribe to your new ebook. I think if you do this you will never look back.
That’s just to get you more subscribers but as far as the blog goes it looks great and being part of the mastermind group will give it wings
Oh, and thanks so much for your kind words about the ebook
that’s a very very interesting topic you have covered steven, will certainly download it now

Thanks Farouk, be interesting to know what you think.
Hi Steven,
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable resource. I am sure it will help me get to that next level of subscribers. I have a question though, do you think I can get a copy of the prequel of this e-book. How to get 10 subscribers. That number seems a little more attainable for me at this time.
lol!
Frank recently posted..I Will Kill You…
Hi Frank, you are very welcome.
Steve,
Thanks in advance for what I know will be a great resource for me to use. Much appreciated and I look forward to sharing my thoughts about it!
Mike
Hi Mike, hope you enjoy the book and looking forward to your thoughts on it.
I just got done reading your ebook Steve, and I must say, I’ve read a good number of other ebooks about “how to grow your blog,” but yours is packed with great quality content. Thanks for cutting straight to the chase while still keeping it personal.
I expect nothing less from Steven
Cheers!

Parker, that’s a huge compliment and I thank you for that.
Steve:
Thank you so much for this. I absolutely can’t wait to read it. I am sure it is filled with amazing advice and content. You always pass along the best advice. Also, congrats on hitting your milestone of 10,000 subscribers. I remember you mentioning it as one of the goals you had set and it is by all means a great accomplishment. I am proud to be one of the 10,000.
Hi Sibyl, thanks for the congrats, I appreciate it and appreciate you being a subscriber even more. I have just sent an email to you.
A big congratulations on reaching 10k, Steve, and I think you are just exploring the surface with your potential, content, and approach to blogging. I downloaded my book too, and will get to it very soon!! How nice of you to offer it for free to your devoted readers!!

Hi Farnoosh, things are really going great with the blogging and I am happy that you are part of it’s success. Hope you enjoy the ebook.
Dear STEVEN!!!! You are a treasure!! I am going to start reading this today. It’s as if you wrote it for ME! LOL!! I need this type of info right now because I have no idea what I’m doing. Although I am getting people subscribing every day (so that is cool). So this will REALLY help me. And I love that it’s coming from you because I trust you and love your writing.
Last night before bed, I was just reading you book “100 Ways to Develop Your Mind” http://www.stevenaitchison.co.uk/blog/2009/09/27/100-ways-to-develop-your-mind/ I love this little book and cannot read it without feeling happy and connect to you and the rest of the world. It is just a creative, funny, and FUN read. It just has a good feeling to it.
So, in light of that I’m sure I will love this VERY helpful book on subscribers. I only recently worked out how to use Aweber.com and get my Subscribe form on my blog and website. LOL! Nonetheless, I AM learning.
Thank you for your generous heart my friend. And for giving us all this useful gift, and sooooo many other gifts as well. Hugs to you, Robin
Hi Robin
I had a chuckle to myself earlier on today when I got your email about subscribing to your blog with Aweber. I was thinking, you’d finally got to grips with the technology and marketing side of things
It’s amazing to think you were reading my book from another country and how we are all still connected in some way, it blows my mind sometimes. I received an email from your publicist (very swanky
) the other day and can’t wait to read your book and write a review on it.
Thank you for being part of CYTs success, it’s great to know you have my back.
Your friend, always.
Steve,
Talk about asking the Universe for what you need. I totally stumbled onto your blog today and *poof* a guide on exactly what I needed was here. I’ve already read it and would’ve undervalued using a pop-up. Also the giveaway idea event idea is on my ‘to-do list’. Cool beans.
Thanks,
Michelle
8 Simple Steps to Turn Your Passion into Income
Hi Michelle, so glad you found this in such a serendipitous way (I love using that word
). The pop us is great if you only use it as a one time pop up, meaning that regular readers won’t see it every time they come to the blog, it’ll only be for new readers and passers by.
Excellent primer, Steve. I am definitely going to take another look at what Im doing and make some changes based on the info you have included in your ebook.

Thanks for your comments Chris, I am sure there are a few things you can use in the ebook.
Hello Steve; again your timing of your blog post is impeccable; I have been spending a lot of time over the past week submitting my website and blogs to the search engines and pinging my different blogs. This post is a welcome store of information – thank you again. I do need to gain more subscribers!
Michael A. Buccilli recently posted..Star Wars Subway Car
Hi Michael, glad you found this useful and hopefully you will be able to bump up your subscribers.
Thanks for sharing your ebook, Steve. Now, I have something to evaluate my blog with. I have other ebooks on increasing subscriber list, but there are things in you ebook that I do not ordinarily see in my other books.
I plan to make your ebook a bible in my subscriber list augmentation efforts.
Wow, that’s great Percival, I am glad you found this guide useful and hope you can use it to grow your blog.
Thank you, Steve. I am poring over it right now. Thanks for being such a wonderful resource on so many levels.
Rob, thanks go to you to, I have learned a lot from you particularly with your video advice.
Hi Steve,
Thanks so much for given out this report free. I just downloaded it now. I will take a look at it and will get back to you.
God bless

Hi Valentine, thanks for downloading this. be good to hear your thoughts on this.
What a great book, thank you so much for sharing it for free! I love how give the information in such an easy to read manner, it was very easy to read through. I’m still digesting much of what I read but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate it!
The biggest thing that I took away from it is how I really need to focus on my list. I have been working on an opt-in that I can give away and I hadn’t considered giving away something by someone else in the meantime.
Stacy recently posted..Day Three- 31 Day Blog Challenge 31DBBB
Hi Stacy, thank you so much for your feedback. I think a lot of people think they have to offer something that has been written or produced by themselves but as long as you are giving value to your readers you can give away anything (as long as you have the copyright of course
)
Hi there, thanks for the eBook. I just started writing on my blog, I think I’m a bit far from creating a list, however there is great info there. I forward it to 6 people, I think they’ll become fans of your writting as well!
Have a good one!
Alejandro “The Fittest Vegan” recently posted..Update- Body Transformation Before & After
Hi Alejandro, now is the best time to start creating your list. I really wished I had started building it when I started the blog.
I downloaded the ebook and will check it out. Any information garnered from a book detailing the pursuit of 10,000 subscribers has got to be chock full of good stuff!

Thanks for your feedback Naveen, I really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for offering this free ebook. I’m part-way through it and will finish the rest tomorrow (too sleepy to continue now). However, you’ve already given me some food for thought.
How difficult is it to change a theme? I’d really like to try another, but never having done so, I’m nervous about the whole process.
Again, thanks!
Laura, it’s not difficult to change a theme at all. the most difficult part is picking the right one. Send me an email if you need any help.
Very impressive Steven and great tips in this book. Thanks for giving it away. The only item I expected to see and either missed it skimming the book or its not there was the value of guest posts on other sites to both grow subscribers and those relationships we know are so critical to blogging success. Thoughts?
Mike King recently posted..Another Week- Another Mountain
Hi Mike, thanks for your thoughts on this. Guest posting is hugely important for getting more readers and subscribers. This book is only the first draft and it’s currently being re-designed by a great ebook designer so i will add more information and put it up for sale, so your input is much appreciated.
Hi Steve,
I just read your ebook and I’m on my way to more subscribers. I’m tweeting it, I think it’s fast to read and easy to understand and implement.
Hi Steven
Well, I have to be honest, I have read just a little here and there about increasing readership, but I have just let things flow naturally for the most part, where topics like this are concerned. But something about the energy of this book and it coming from you got my attention and I am definitely going to read it.
I feel I can help a lot of people, but naturally I have to also take into account of how those people are going to find me. So I really appreciate you offering this and look forward reading it!
